Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamrac 5547 Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Gray/Black)
Customer Review: Perfect size for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm quite impressed with this backpack. Some may find it too small for their gear, but I think the size is perfect for what I have. I currently can store my Canon 30D with a 17-55mm f/2.8 lens attached, Canon 80-200mm lens (smaller kit zoom lens, not as big as the 70-200), Contax 35-70mm lens, 6 filters in their cases, battery charger, memory and shutter release cable all in the lower compartment (and front outside pouch). I think a larger lens like the Canon 70-200mm at 9.9 inches would not fit in the bag attached to a camera, but would fit off the camera.
The upper compartment is completely separate from the lower, and is big enough for a sweatshirt and a small lunch. The upper compartment can be accessed by swinging the bag around your shoulder and unzipping it, but in order to access the lower camera compartment, you must take off the backpack so the top compartment can fold back.
The zippers slide easily and I have not had a problem with them getting caught in the fabric. The fabric is strong and rugged (I have only used this bag for a week, so I cannot comment on the long-term durability, but I have no reason to think the backpack won't last for years to come). The weight distribution when wearing the bag is excellent. With the heavy camera gear at the bottom of the bag, the backback sits on my back quite comfortably (I am 5'10" for reference). There is a chest strap which relieves stress on the shoulders, and a waist strap to secure the bag tight against the body (keeps the bag from bouncing and causing possible damage to your equipment). Some reviewers mentioned all of the straps cause for lots of loose strap material, but this can be corrected by rolling up the extra material and securing with a couple of small rubber bands. The bottom compartment that holds the camera gear is very well padded and the compartment is completely customizable (I found that taking out one of the dividers worked best for my camera gear).
The only negative I had with the bag is the lack of a tripod carrying mechanism built in (like bungee straps on the back of the bag or on the bottom). There are 2 lash tabs on the bottom of the bag for an optional tripod carrying system offered by Tamrac. I was able to overcome this issue by placing the feet of my tripod in one of the side pouches, and then securing the top of the tripod with a clasp that attaches to the carrying handle at the top of the bag. This works well with my small compact tripod, but would probably not work with a large or professional style tripod.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Someone with more gear that wants to be able to carry it all would definitely find this bag too small and should look at a backpack utilizes all of the bag for camera gear. But this bag is perfect for long hikes when you need to safely carry your camera and a couple extra lenses, and still have room for other items like a water bottle, lunch and clothing.
Description of Tamrac 5547 Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Gray/Black)
This modern backpack was designed for the SLR photographer with a large digital or film SLR with a grip and lens attached, several lenses, a flash and accessories. The new Adventure 7 features a youthful, modern and sleek design that, for security, does not look like a camera bag. In this uniquely designed backpack, the lower section is a completely foam-padded camera bag compartment, while the upper section functions like a traditional backpack to hold a light jacket, lunch or other personal items needed on your next photo adventure. The front pocket features Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available. The foam-padded camera compartment has a weather flap and quick-release buckle for security and weather protection. Two mesh pockets on the sides provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. Two lash tabs on the bottom of the backpack can accommodate a compact tripod (requires accessory straps). Also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing with optional S.A.S. products.Digital Camera Accessories
